Letter 632
Libanius→Ἀπολιναρίῳ|libanius
To Apolinarius and Gemellus. (361 AD)
What wrongs Eustathius has suffered and comes to seek justice for, you will learn from my letter to your father. You must show that you both hate the perpetrator and pity the victim, and demonstrate what kind of governors you would be through your actions while living with your father the governor.
Ἀπολιναρίῳ καὶ Γεμέλλῳ. (361)
Ἃ μὲν ἠδικημένος Εὐστάθιος ἥκει δίκην ληψόμενος, ἐκ
τῶν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα ὑμῶν εἴσεσθε γραμμάτων· ὑμᾶς δὲ δεῖ
φανῆναι καὶ τὸν δεδρακότα μισοῦντας καὶ τὸν πεπονθότα
ἐλεοῦντας καὶ τίνες ἂν ἄρχοντες γένοισθε, δι’ ὧν πράττετε
συζῶντες ἄρχοντι τῷ πατρί.
